- Zandile (1/5): Untidy - The location is close to amenities The linen was dirty,the owners are staying in thepremises with kids, there is no peace. In the kitchen there is no proper dinning table,there were only two chairs whereas the kitchen is shared with other guests.
The room was dusty we had to wipe the side bed pedestals and the cupboard.
The owners are respinsible for cleaning, there is no staff and makes me wonder as other guests mentioned being welcomed by friendly staff.
- SBAHLE (5/5): It's was okay, nothing exciting - The property is in a nice area close to malls The lady host was not friendly, she put us in a wrong room and I had to tell her I booked one with the view. When we can I a little earlier she sent us away because the rooms were not ready

When we arrived alcohol was not allowed into the premises as we are school kids or something. Pool was dirty, kitchen not clean and empty coffee containers, rusty microwave and kettle. We had to borrow cutlery and plates, which should something standard. Really bad hosting practices. 5 days but very little provision such as one toilet paper roll and small soaps etc

Beds looks more like a per hr booking facility. The showers are old and dirty. Everything is old and torn.
- agneta (1/5): - Proximity to the beach and mall The staff was not friendly. The facility is unkept it is falling apart. Doors are rusty bedding was not clean. The place needs a revamp its a beautiful place but not being looked after. Simple thing as a kitchen kettle was dirty and there are no utensils to use in the kitchen either.They can do better on their service and maybe do research on how to run it properly. The back room toilet not working the fridge was leaking the shower extremely dirty. And staff must remember to be polite as well a little smile goes a long way

- vusumuzi emmanuel (9/5): - Warm family There is nothing much
- Siyanda (1/5): -
- Yolanda (3/5): Poor - The location is perfect, not very far from the beach 1.I made a booking through booking.com I paid a full amount for a group of 10 ladies but when I arrived I was told my booking was cancelled because I didn't pay. I had all the proof that I paid, but the hosts were very unkind telling insisting that I didn't pay, telling me that I must look for another place and not making any effort to actually look at the proof I'm providing. Eventually their "boss" confirmed that they can see my payment and they let me check in
2. The host (male) would just come in at any moment (no privacy) to "clean" the house and change bins
3. There were no blankets at all. It's in the middle of winter but we were not given any blanket and when we asked for them we were told they removed blankets because people steal them. We had to use very thin ragged bed quilt
4. We opted for self-catering but no catering necessities on sight. Not even a stove. No pots. We were told to "braai" our breakfast when we enquired
5. The kitchen was very dirty. We had to buy cleaning equipment before we could actually use it. The only cleaning they did in the kitchen was to change the bins
6. The pool is filthy, cannot even attempt to use it
- Nkululeko (8/5): Very good -
- Celiwe (2/5): We stayed because we had no choice - The view We paid for breakfast but it was never served to us,they told us to pay extra cash
There was no plates, cutlery nothing
Could not swim because the pool was dirty
The room had an unpleasant smell
No extra blankets
- Nobulungisa (1/5): Bad - The female that is the madam we met there was not good she doesn't treat visitors well I was not happy at all the place was dirty I can't even recommend the place to other people Nothing I liked about that place I felt I could cry
- Nkonzo (1/5): Poor service, dirty place, I will never book in that place again, even if it was to be the only one, - Nothing at all Everything was just bad
- Annette (1/5): shit stay - nothing everything
- Phume (8/5): Very good -
- Tyeshani (9/5): Superb -
- Thenjiwe (1/5): Bad - There was no stove, plates and cutlery
How is it a self catering? And when we ask for plates they refuse to borrow us but they gave the guest two plates( two white gentlemen)
On Saturday morning we went out when we came back we were expecting the rooms to be cleaned but no we had to ask them to clean

Actually we left before the day since we booked two days but we couldn't tolerate the enviroment we left after one night. Firstly it was extremely dirty everything worse the bathroom, their linen was not the one in the pictures. Ooh no their dinning was dirty dishes they serve with were extremely dirty i couldn't even bite one thing with poor breakfast for the money you have payed.
